Qin Huaidao did not agree to Li Jing's request, not because he was worried about Li Jing's health. It is an honor for a veteran to die on the battlefield and is the best destination. But because he was worried that Li Jing's talents were not suitable for commanding his troops.
Grenade is already being mass-produced. Once equipped, it will definitely change the mode of war. Next, Qin Huaidao is going to study the grenade. The structure of this thing is much simpler than other thermal weapons. It is estimated that other craftsmen will not be able to make it, but he can do it himself.
Not a big problem.
The grenade can be used for long-range attack, the grenade can be used for close-quarter crushing, and the anti-infantry mine can be re-created. The style of play has completely changed. Li Jing is good at cold weapons and large-scale command, but he does not know hot weapons and is not suitable for leading troops.
Seeing Li Jing leave disappointed and helpless, Qin Huaidao couldn't bear it, but he held it back.
After sending the three people out of the house, they rushed into the workshop.
The three carriages slowly left Qinjiazhuang, leaving long axle marks as they drove slowly.
After entering the city, the carriage stopped, and the three of them opened the curtains in a tacit understanding. Fang Xuanling said: "Since Huaidao has agreed to the wedding and has set a date, I will go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit and explain the matter."
"I'll go to Nan Yasi and take a look." Cheng Yaojin said. Seeing that Li Jing's face was ugly, he joked: "Why, you are still thinking about what happened just now. Let me see, Huaidao was right to reject you. It's a shame for myself."
The number one person in the Xu Bing family has no plans left, and he has gone all the way, and I haven’t figured out the reason yet.”
"What do you mean?" Li Jing asked with a cold face.
"You know?" Fang Xuanling also looked at Cheng Yaojin curiously.
Cheng Yaojin said with determination: "Of course, based on our relationship with Huaidao, we would not refuse unless we have to. With the talent of a pharmacist, what battle can't he win? But Huaidao still refuses. There is only one possibility. He thinks that the pharmacist
It’s inappropriate. As for why it’s inappropriate, I don’t know.”
"Not even a pharmacist? How is that possible?" Fang Xuanling's face was filled with shock. As for the person who was best at using soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, he had to be Li Jing. How could he be suitable? Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jing thoughtfully.
However, Li Jing suddenly remembered what he said about weapons affecting tactics when discussing the art of war with Qin Huaidao. His eyes lit up, he smiled and said: "Forget it, the battlefield is the world of young people after all. When we are old, we just stay at home.
Don’t cause trouble to the young people and go back.”
"Have you guessed the reason?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
Li Jing had some guesses and was curious about what kind of new weapon it would be, but he didn't give it away. He smiled and said: "Huaidao feels sorry for me and is worried about my old arms and legs. If something happens, he will feel uneasy."
"Forget it if you don't tell me." Fang Xuanling was not stupid, but she didn't ask any more questions and signaled the coachman to set off.
The three of them separated and each went his own way.
Li Jing put down the car curtains and fell into deep thought. He couldn't guess what weapons Qin Huaidao would create, how he would fight in the future, and where to fight first? A map of the Western Regions could not help but appear in his mind.
After walking for some distance, there was a commotion ahead and the carriage slowed down.
Li Jing curiously opened the curtains and took a look. In front of him was the department store. Countless carriages were parked at the door waiting to be loaded. The scene was noisy. He was a little surprised. Wasn't this department store closed down by Qin Huaidao? Why was the business suddenly so booming?
.
After thinking for a while, Li Jing shouted: "Old Ma, stop the car and go ask about the situation."
"Here!" The carriage pulled over and the driver hurried over.
The two guards stared at the surroundings warily, pressing their hands on the hilts of their knives.
Not long after, the coachman returned: "Master, I have inquired about it. I am here to purchase. The price of the same goods in the Department Store is 20% cheaper than in the market. It attracts many people to come. Even vendors, restaurants, and restaurants have sent people here to sell them so cheaply."
Isn’t it a shame that I can’t figure out the reason?”
"Twenty percent cheaper?"
Li Jing was a little surprised. Things in the market were already cheaper than those in the Western Market. If the department store was 20% cheaper, wouldn't it mean that they were selling at a loss of nearly half? What's the point?
With Qin Huaidao's ability, why did he allow the department store to do this? Aren't he afraid that the market would not be able to continue operating?
Suddenly, Li Jing thought of the caravan that set out today. Those trucks of food could be hidden from others, but not from himself. He thought of something and said with a smile: "He is really a master of taking advantage. Let's go back home!"
The coachman thought that Li Jing was talking about the Department Store Pavilion, and echoed: "That's right, this Department Store Pavilion is nothing. It imitates the business methods of Hanwang and takes advantage of it. If this continues, won't Hanwang suffer a loss? I just asked, and nearly 100,000 yuan was sold yesterday.
Thirty thousand guan, I'm afraid it will be 50,000 guan today. The king of Han has suffered a great loss, and those censors are also stupid, and no one has ever impeached or taken care of this matter."
"You speak for the King of Han like this, are you getting benefits?" Li Jing did not point out. As for whether Qin Huaidao would suffer a loss, Li Jing was not worried at all. That boy is very smart.
The coachman jumped on the carriage, shook the reins, and drove the carriage slowly. He said: "Master, I don't dare to take advantage of others randomly, as I don't want to disgrace my reputation. However, when I was waiting at the door before, the King of Han came over and couldn't bear to let me wait in the cold.
He arranged for people to enter the side room, have a stove, hot tea, and snacks, and there are plenty of them. I have long heard that the King of Han was benevolent and righteous, caring for his servants, and caring for the people. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
"Okay, walk faster." Li Jing smiled and asked no more questions.
"Okay, drive!"
The carriage accelerated and rolled forward.
Not long after, a carriage came over and stopped at the same location.
In the carriage, Wang Xuance opened the curtains and looked at the bustling department store ahead, with a smile on his lips, like a fox that had stolen a hen.
A man dressed as a businessman hurried over, bowed and said, "I've met Mr. Wang."
"How prepared are you?"
"everything's ready."
"very good."
Wang Xuance smiled with satisfaction, his eyes sparkling, he looked at the door of the department store and said coldly: "The King of Han has entrusted such an important matter to so-and-so, so-and-so must not mess it up. Here goes the order, today's procurement is controlled within 50,000 guan, we can't do it."
Too much, so as not to alarm the snake, limit it to 60,000 guan tomorrow, and increase like this. In the words of the King of Han, this is called boiling a frog in warm water."
"What do you mean?" The other party was a little confused.
"The words of the King of Han are full of wisdom. You should taste them slowly. If you taste one or two of them, you will be benefited for life. Do your job well and I won't lose you. Go ahead." Wang Xuance warned.
"Thank you, Sir, for your support. I will make arrangements for you now." The other party bowed and backed away, and left in a hurry.
Wang Xuance looked at the people coming and going in the department store. He felt very happy when he thought that the supplies he had purchased in the past few days had already left and could be exchanged for ten times the profit or even more when they arrived in Hanzhou.
Thinking about the next plan, if it can last for ten days, the profit may exceed one million yuan, but the opponent is happy every day, and even helps count the money after being sold. Hanwang's business method is simply incredible.
"Laugh, laugh, it's best if you don't wake up from the laughter." Wang Xuance muttered to himself and motioned to leave.
Not long after, another carriage came slowly and stopped at the same location.
The car curtains opened, revealing a slightly childish face, it was none other than Jin Wang Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked at the bustling department store with a cold voice and flashing eyes.
After a while, a man in rich brocade clothes came over, bowed and said, "See King Jin."
"How did things go?"
"Back to King Jin, it has been found out that the Department Store sells goods at prices lower than the market price, attracting countless people to patronize, especially the large and small restaurants, restaurants, etc. in Chang'an City. They all send people to purchase. In the past two or three days, the Department Store has sold more than ten dollars.
Tens of thousands of dollars are a loss."
Li Zhi frowned and asked: "What are you doing with such a loss?"
"My subordinates boldly guessed that the low price should attract people. The purpose is to beat Hanwang's market. After the market closes, the prices will increase. I can't guess how. I have asked some merchants and everyone agrees.
It’s not clear, after all, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in two or three days goes against the nature of a businessman.”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Businessmen pursue profits. It is really strange for the Department Store to do this. Keep watching and report as soon as there is any news. There must be no mistakes."
"Here!" The other party bowed and left.
However, Li Zhi did not leave immediately. He looked at the department store without saying a word, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy.
After a while, Li Zhi murmured in a low voice: "My good fourth brother, do you really think that others don't know that you are behind the department store, and you want to return to Chang'an just because of a department store? Why don't you give up? It's not good to stay in the fiefdom.
?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Zhi lowered the car curtains and said, "Go home!"
The carriage started and rumbled away, leaving two new tracks on the snow.
Not long after, another carriage came and stopped at the same place. A person jumped out of the carriage. It was the new general manager of the department store. Looking at the King Jin's carriage going further away, he raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and told the guards around him.
He said: "When I sent an order to the King of Wei, I told him that Duke Wei, Wang Xuance and the King of Jin had come one after another, with unknown intentions."
"Here!"
"The drama has begun. King Han, can you catch it?"
The manager looked towards Qinjiazhuang and murmured to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
